Paris Hilton's Husband Has Secret Child Who He Provides for Yet Has Allegedly Only Seen 'Once'

• Carter Reum became a father for the second time.

• He had his first child without letting anyone know about her.

• Reum's daughter was reportedly not very happy after he married her new stepmother, Paris Hilton.

Famous heiress Paris Hilton announced that she and her new husband, Carter Reum, had a child together. The vocalist announced the news on Tuesday, January 24, surprising her fans and followers with the unexpected news. Apparently, the child was conceived via a surrogate.

The new mother celebrated the birth of her healthy new baby boy with an Instagram post. The photo she shared on Instagram showed Paris' fingers with her new baby's tiny little hand wrapped adorably around her thumb. The proud Paris captioned the image, saying the little one is already adored by her parents.

Although the new baby is a first for Paris, her entrepreneur husband, Carter Reum, already shares a daughter with his previous partner, reality star Laura Bellizzi. However, the 9-year-old daughter Carter and Laura share wasn't received without controversy. Many have doubted that Carter is indeed the father of the child.

After Carter and Paris tied the knot, the news broke that he had a child with his previous partner.

Before Carter and Laura started dating, the reality star was involved with the actor and director Mel Gibson. Shortly after they broke up, Laura began to see Carter. After Carter and Laura got together, she gave birth to their daughter, but many fans and online speculators believed Mel was the child's biological father instead of Carter.

Carter Reum Is a Daddy for the 2nd Time

Just like his wealthy wife, Carter comes from a highly affluent family. His late father, W. Robert 'Bob' Reum, was the chairman, president, and CEO of Amsted Industries. After his father passed away in 2017, Carter was left with his father's fortune, leading the young businessman to invest a significant portion and start his own company with his brother.

In 2011, after the uncertain father of Carter's son had been cleared up, Carter's representative made a statement regarding the mogul's first daughter.

The 41-year-old business tycoon reportedly attended the Ivy League university, Columbia University, where he received his B.A. degree in Economics and Business and Managerial Economics. His brother, Courtney Reum, and sister, Halle Reum. On top of that, Carter is reportedly valued between $35 million and $40 million.

After Carter and Paris tied the knot, the news broke that he had a child with his previous partner. Although the child was rumored to be Mel's, the actor denied that it could be his, and it was soon revealed to be Carter's. When the news broke, Carter's daughter was already ten years old, and although Carter doesn't see her, he supports her financially.

Paris and Carter have been planning their family since before they got married. According to reports, Paris started in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment in 2020, a year before they said their vows. Paris requested the baby be born via a surrogate because it could have increased her odds of having boy and girl twins.

The Mother of Carter Reum's First Child, Laura Bellizzi, and the Daughter He Allegedly Has Seen Only "Once"

In 2011, after the uncertain father of Carter's son had been cleared up, Carter's representative made a statement regarding the mogul's first daughter. In it, Carter announced that he was the father and that everyone involved in the matter had already been aware of all the necessary details. He claimed:

"The people who this story matters to have known about it for 10 years. Carter supports this child. While he does not have a traditional father-daughter relationship with her, he has provided for her since she was born, and will continue to do so."

After the rumors of Mel being the father, Carter confirmed that he was indeed the biological dad. The venture capitalist never did any DNA tests to prove his biological relationship with the child, but he did sign legal documents verifying that he was the dad. Since then, the dad and his daughter haven't had the closest of relationships.

Although Carter's daughter is already ten years old, sources claim the father-of-two has only seen her "once" in the past, and they haven't connected since. Nonetheless, Carter and his representatives maintain that the young entrepreneur will continue to support her financially.

In recent years, his daughter has shown signs of wanting to connect with her biological dad. As she's getting older, she's wondering about her father, and apparently hopes to get to know him in the next few years. With that said, Carter has made no move to show that he's willing to provide anything more than financial support.

Carter's Daughter Misses Her Daddy and Was "Triggered" by His Wedding with Paris

After Carter and Paris' wedding, Carter's daughter allegedly wanted to start building a relationship with her father. After seeing and reading about her father's marriage to the reality TV star, Carter's daughter was supposedly "triggered," and she sadly felt "left out" after seeing the couple walk down the aisle. A source said:

"Also, she saw the articles of Paris and Carter talking about starting a family. She felt tremendous rejection and felt left out. She wants to have a relationship with him."

According to the same source, Carter's young daughter is approaching the age where she's starting to question her own identity, and she hopes meeting her father will provide clarity. The source maintained that it has nothing to do with either of her parents. Instead, the young girl wishes to explore where she comes from:

"It's not about [Reum] or the mother. It's about making the child whole. She is absolutely an amazing little girl. She has so much love to give. And she wants to give it to him, his family and whoever he chooses to love."

The source continued, saying that the little girl just wants to connect with Carter and Paris. Even if her father shows no interest in building a relationship with her, she holds out hope that he will change his mind sometime in the future. The source maintains she hopes to "complete the missing pieces of her puzzle."
